purposes. Government facilities, property, and
manpower (such as stationery, stenographic and
typing assistance, Mimeograph, and chauffeur
services) must be used only for official
government business. Naval personnel have a
positive duty to protect and conserve government
property. These provisions do not prevent the use
of government facilities for approved activities in
furtherance of naval community relations,
provided they do not interfere with military
missions or government business.
See
SECNAVINST 5720.44 for community relations
guidance.
Use of Civilian and Military Titles
or Position in Connection with
Commercial Enterprise
All naval personnel, except special government
employees, are prohibited from using their grade,
rank, title, or position in connection with any
commercial enterprise or in endorsing any
commercial product. This does not prevent author
identification for materials published according
to DOD procedures. A commercial enterprise is
any entity that engages in activities that produce
income as defined in Int. Rev. Code of 195461,
and that has not been exempted from paying
income taxes pursuant to Int. Rev. Code of 1954,
501(a).
All retired military personnel and all members
of Reserve components, not on active duty, are
permitted to use their military titles in connection
with commercial enterprises, provided that they
indicate their Inactive Reserve or Retired status.
If, however, such use of military titles in any way
casts discredit on the Department of the Navy
or the Department of Defense or gives the
appearance of sponsorship, sanction, endorse-
ment, or approval by the Department of the Navy
or the Department of Defense, it is prohibited.
In addition, commanders of overseas installations
may further restrict the use of titles including use
by retired military personnel and members of
Reserve components, not on active duty, in
overseas areas.
Outside Employment of DOD
Personnel
Naval personnel must not engage in outside
employment or other outside activity, with or
without compensation, that interferes with, or is
not compatible with, the performance of their
government duties, that may reasonably be
AII-7
expected to bring discredit on the government or
the Department of the Navy, or is otherwise
inconsistent with the requirements of this
instruction, including the requirements to avoid
actions and situations that reasonably can be
expected to create the appearance of conflicts of
interests.
Enlisted naval personnel on active duty may
not be ordered or authorized to leave their post
to engage in a civilian pursuit, business, or
professional activity if it interferes with the
customary or regular employment of local
civilians in their art, trade, or profession.
Active duty Regular officers of the Navy and
Marine Corps may not be employed by any person
furnishing naval supplies or war materials to the
United States. If such an officer is so employed,
his or her entitlement to pay ceases for so long
as he or she is so employed.
Off-duty employment of military personnel by
an entity involved in a strike is permissible if the
person was on the payroll of the entity before the
beginning of the strike and if the employment is
otherwise in conformance with the provisions of
this instruction. After a strike begins and while
it continues, no military personnel may accept
employment by that involved entity at the strike
location.
Naval personnel are encouraged to engage in
teaching, lecturing, and writing. Naval personnel,
however, must not, either for or without com-
pensation, engage in activities that are depend-
ent on information obtained as a result of
their government employment, except when the
information has been published or is generally
available to the public, or it will be made generally
available to the public and the official authorized
to release such information to the public gives
written authorization for the use of nonpublic
information on the basis that the use is in the
public interest.
Civilian Presidential appointees in the
Department of the Navy must not receive
compensation or anything of monetary value for
any consultation, lecture, discussion, writing, or
appearance, the subject matter of which is devoted
substantially to naval responsibilities, programs,
or operations or that draws substantially from
official material that has not become part of the
body of public information.
